Chapter 479 is like a tiger

After a short stop in the city of Zhongshou, Du Xian's troops marched northeast along the road that Murong Xianbei had previously marched. The Turks of Heisha City really couldn't imagine that the Tang army would attack again at this time, and when their scouts found out that this cavalry had reported to the city, many people suspected that they were lying about the military situation, but other scouts also reported the same news. Tang Jun was wearing a newly made Mingguang armor, and the neat color of the armor was so easy to recognize that even the blind could recognize it.

The facts were in front of them, and after the number of people was determined, the noble strategists of Black Sand City thought that it would be difficult for the Tang *** army to assemble in such a short time, so they could only send such a cavalry force over. They agreed to reuse their old tactics to repel the invading enemy, only to wait for the return of the Mursian Khan.

The Tang army marched at a very fast pace, and in the morning it was reported that it was 150 miles away from the city, and just after noon, it was said that there were only 100 miles of land. Tossi immediately sent all his cavalry out of the city to attack and maneuver along the way, luring the enemy to the city and then repelling the enemy as he had done the previous time.

Just after Shen Shi in the afternoon, the Turkic cavalry found the position of the Tang army, and they did not block the battle head-on, but came straight from the north to the flank of the Tang army. One qiē is like a repeat of the last time, and the tactics of the Turkic cavalry have not changed even a bit.

When Du Xian heard the direction, he looked back at the left and right generals and said: "The Turks only attack the flanks with the intention of attacking, otherwise why don't they start a decisive battle from my front?" Our army does not need to delay the trip because of this, where is Fan Shuhu? ”

A medium-sized elite military general stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "The last general." ”

Du Xian said: "You immediately lead a group of men and horses to the north to meet the Turkic cavalry, if the enemy retreats and cannot chase far away, just use the flank to follow the army, and continue to march on the north side." ”

"Order!" Fan Shuhu didn't say much and took the order flag and left, and he didn't ask what to do if the enemy soldiers didn't retreat, and he looked resolute and impatient.

After a while, the 2,000 men of Fan Shuhu's division left the large army from the left flank and met them in the direction from which the Turks came. He lined up his ten cavalry battalions facing north and marched sideways. The queue camp of the Tang army looked somewhat dull, but it was much more neat than that of the nomads, and the flags and positions between each regiment were clear at a glance, and you could see at a glance how many men and horses there were.

The sun in the west is gray due to the wind and sand, but the armor on the Tang sergeant is very bright, especially the reflection of the two round mirrors on the chest is the most eye-catching. The armor sounded, and the knights were dressed like iron men, but the horses that followed the team did not have armor, and the horse armor affected mobility in the concept of military talents in the Tang Dynasty.

The Turks on the opposite side poured all over the land, perhaps organized according to the tribes, but in comparison with the balanced and upright columns of the Tang army, it seemed that they were simply a large crowd of people. In contrast, the armor on this side is bright and the other side is chaotic and black, like a regular army competing with a group of savages.

It's just that the Turkic cavalry was more numerous after the group, and Fan Shuhu looked very thin after the army was placed horizontally. The soldiers were all selected from the inland armies "warriors", but it was the first time for them to fight together, after all, the battlefield did not rely on individual martial arts, at this time everyone faced five times their own enemy soldiers, many people were somewhat afraid. A general said: "There are many Turks, and it is easy for the general to penetrate the camp by the enemy soldiers in such a formation, so it is better to gather the queue to form a phalanx." ”

Fan Shuhu glared and said: "You also said that there are many enemy soldiers, why don't we have the opportunity to attack the flank and plan the Chinese army to break the enemy head-on?" Ordered the Chinese army to attack, and immediately attacked the middle left and right after receiving the enemy, killing him without leaving a piece of armor! ”

After a while, the Tang army could be heard blowing cymbals on their horses, and people were shouting and moving forward. The Turks were originally coming to attack and harass, but seeing that the Tang army was pressing, they failed to immediately launch a charge.

The four regiments in the center marched in unison, and the position of the first regiment of Fan Shuhu's headquarters soon surpassed the other horses, and the twenty rows of cavalry changed formations and formed four attack formations in teams. The other three regiments of men and horses also ran up, and the front and rear of the cavalry in the middle formed an arc in front of the front, like a string of bright moon!

The Turks also screamed and rushed up, "bang bang......" a string sound, the sun appeared out of thin air a burst of "raindrops", and the raindrops that fell on the side of the Tang army seemed to turn into hail, hitting the armor and clanging for a while, and there were almost no casualties, but many horses were hit by arrows, and some cavalry rolled down. At this time, a round of cavalry shooting had almost no effect on the situation of the battle, and in an instant, the cavalry rushed together.

The knights raised various long weapons such as horse lances and inserted them directly into each other's bodies, and when they charged together, they were extremely fast, and any martial arts moves were useless, and they could use them at most in a flash. Suddenly, the heavy sound of metal colliding and screams sounded together, and the dazzling light of the mind protection and bright blood spots flew together. Both sides fought hard and fought together.

"He has to play with his tiger skin, otherwise he will go home and farm!" Fan Shuhu brandished a horizontal knife and scolded. The generals around him also opened their mouths to use all kinds of foul language, cut people with red eyes, and the soldiers who entered the enemy camp rushed to kill with their lives, and the Turkic *** stunned large crowd retreated one after another.

At the beginning, the Tang soldiers were still arranged in a good formation according to the way they were trained by Shangfeng on weekdays, and at this time, the Chinese army had no formation at all, and they were all slashing at the Turks together, and the sword dance was a group. At this time, three regiments on the left and right also rushed up in formation, and all the 2,000 Tang troops were dispatched, and the Turkic front army could not resist the chaotic blind artillery, and many people turned their horses and ran. Seeing this, the Turkic centaurs in the back did not charge, but just blocked there, shooting arrows and retreating, and the other groups of centaurs had begun to retreat.

Fan Shuhu led the troops to kill and win for a while, and the blood and qi surged up and revealed their original form, forgetting all the orders of the general Du Xian, and killing happily behind the Turkic retreats, chasing the sun until it was about to go down and not stopping.

…… At dusk, the flank of the main force of the Tang Army once again warned of the Turkic attack, and Du Xian was stunned and said, "Where is Fan Shuhu?" Didn't you report that you had repelled the Turks half an hour ago? Where is he! ”

None of his subordinates knew where Fan Shuhu was going, anyway, they didn't hear any military reports that he was defeated, let alone the soldiers who came from the rout.

At this time, Du Xian had to ignore the situation of Fan Shuhu's department, ordered to stop the march, and turned the army to face the Turkic cavalry. At the beginning, Du Xian had already divided his troops to deal with the flanks, but at this time he did not dare to divide his troops and advance, because the number of troops was not much, and it was taboo to divide the troops too much, so he delayed it.

The attacking enemy soldiers did not come to fight hard, Du Xian did not have much pressure but had to be guarded, otherwise they were really empty, and those Turkic cavalry were not harmless to people and animals.

As it got late and the Turks withdrew their troops, Du Xian ordered the army to find a high place to garrison and camp, and searched for the whereabouts of Fan Shuhu's troops while repairing them. Fortunately, they finally got the news of Fan Shuhu after dark, and they were rushing back.

Du Xian learned the ins and outs and was furious: "This person has no military law, how did he become a general?" The roster file also says that he is a fierce general, and in my opinion, he is not even qualified to be a team leader! Check out the officials of the Mingguang Army and convict them together with Fan Shuhu! ”

One of his staff said: "This person has been a guard in the local area, and his rank is high, so he is also assigned to the Mingguang Army...... It's just that I've heard that Fan Shuhu is guarding because he has a brother who is in office as a governor. There is also a record of Fan Shuhu calming down the anti-thieves and not being afraid of death when he was arrested, so it is not an exaggeration for the officials to write a 'brave and fierce' for him. ”

Du Xian originally planned to wait for Fan Shuhu to come back and relieve him of his military power and replace him with a calm general from the Flying Tiger Regiment, but when he heard this, he suddenly thought that people always have strengths and weaknesses, and it depends on how the person in charge uses the talent reasonably. Later, the siege of the city may be needed for people like Fan Shuhu.

At this time, many generals also said good things for Fan Shuhu's intercession, after all, the generals have been training together for several months, and there is some friendship, and besides, everyone is not very familiar with each other, and there is no harm in getting along kindly.

Du Xian said in a slower tone: "According to the law, those who violate the order will be beheaded, but the victory in his first battle is indelible, so as to offset the capital crime." The death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and then I will deal with him when the war is settled! ”

When Fan Shuhu came back, he saw Du Xian, and he knew that he hadn't done things well, and his face was a little afraid, but Du Xian didn't do anything with him, so he scolded him and said that he would punish him. Fan Shuhu was cheeky and scolded, his heart was relaxed again, and he said in his heart: It's a big deal to be whipped, gritted his teeth and survived, fortunately, he didn't have to kill his head, otherwise he would have died unjustly.
